| No, I don't think so, it's just a very Buttertubs-ey model of car and year. He'll probably know about the exact type of model and contemporary extras. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| A bit too "flash" for me. I'm more beige Escort L with cloth seats, no radio and windows with manual winders. That said, I'd guess it's the sporty Escort XR3i. - The Call of the Wendigo wrote:

Although Reliant are most famous for their three wheelers, they did make the sporty four-wheeled Reliant Scimitar, of which Princess Anne owned several examples, including convertible versions. |

| How pretentious she is. It's not even as if it's feasibly a childhood memory. She probably drives herself around rural roads in it, giving modest little waves to people she thinks have recognized her. |

| I'm not sure I'd call owning a Morris Traveller pretentious; there are somewhat flashier cars out there. I can remember them still being around in the 80s. |

| Hmmm. Faux modesty from multimillionaire celebrities isn't a trait I rate. VW camper vans and hearses are in the same category I think. I had to complain to my bank about a hearse parked outside that was advertising 'Flame Grilled Steak'. They had it towed.
She could have a vintage Bentley with a bar in the back.
Coincidentally, this evening when I got home I was frustrated with Newsnight so I turned to an old article about Dusty Springfield. I think it's my all time favourite story about a star - driving through Mayfair at midnight, stoned and wearing dark sunglasses she hit a pedestrian and was obviously charged. She tried to counter sue on the grounds that this woman had dented the bodywork of her favourite car.
On stars - I also meant to say to you weeks ago - I've lately (since 2017) become a huge admirer of Cilla and I regret speaking badly of her when she died. A pro. |

| Looks like a Toyota Avensis estate, or Corolla or some other made-for-Australia Toyota. |

| Penelope Keith, in character as Margot, getting out of a beautiful lime green VW Golf (I think - car identification isn't really my area of expertise). _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| A MK1 Golf, no less. Highly sought after these days. |

| But more importantly, a Ford Sierra Sapphire (the rarer saloon version) driving past Wayne Rooney!
And a Vauxhall Astra estate. |
